SHHHHHH. ok now that you're here i have a question. i was on this forum called torrent-invites.com and the signup info mentioned you shouldn't use the same name you use for your trackers. because they might catch you. that's right.
do trackers ever comb forums like this to catch invite traders/givers?
let say ive got a friend whos got the same name here as they do on their trackers. should i tell him to get his named changed to something more discreet? like murphy?
well usually if someone if actively involved in a tracker, and they are ona site such as torrent-invites and see a breach of the tracker's rules such as a trade, they will report it/try and catch the trader. Its not such staff that do this, more random members wanting to gain credit and help out the sites they are on.
No they don't. They simply don't have time to do that. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to get you to trade "secretly" with them so they can scam you and make it so you can't prove what happened. The truth is trackers don't really care if you trade, unless you PM them telling them you're a trader. Don't worry about it too much.
oh good, my friend really didn't want to change his name to murphy

private trackers vs. invite forums

well yeah, of course. a comparison came to mind but im not even sure if it makes sense at all. ill throw it out there anyway
its kind of the same with the riaa, they don't want people taking their stuff for free, braking the "rules", and then try to punish people who do. the private sites do the same thing to people who break their rules, of course by banning them, not suing them.
i just noticed a chain of piracy, how it keeps getting more and more secret. perhaps the riaa will team up with these forums and just give out invites to a ton of shitty members lol
